FAQS

  1. How long does this pickle last?

    This pickle can last for several weeks to a few months if stored properly in a clean, dry, airtight container at room temperature.

  2. Can I use a different type of oil?

    While mustard oil is traditionally used for its flavor and preservative properties, you can substitute it with another oil like vegetable oil, but it may affect the taste and shelf life.

  3. How can I make it less spicy?

    Reduce the amount of green chillies or remove the seeds and membranes before pickling. You can also increase the amount of lemon juice to balance the spice.

  4. What dishes can I serve this pickle with?

    This green chilli pickle is a versatile condiment that goes well with Indian breads like parathas and rotis, rice dishes, and even as a side with snacks like samosas and pakoras.

  5. Can I store this pickle in the refrigerator?

    While storing at room temperature is typical, refrigerating the pickle can extend its shelf life even further. However, the mustard oil may solidify at cooler temperatures.
